A 4 day safari which starts and finishes in Kampala. This safari can also be done on a private basis. [One gorilla permit is included in the cost.] Seeing some of the last remaining 700 mountain gorillas in the world is a fantastic experience. This safari takes you tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Bwindi has four habituated families and the gorillas there live in thicker tropical forest and tracking is more challenging as the hillsides are steeper. You can also go for nature walks to see birds, monkeys and orchids.
Day 1 Briefing on safari. Start for Lake Mburo, arrive in time for lunch. Canoe trip on Lake Mburo. Afternoon game drive. O/N: Mantana Tented Camp (FB).
Day 2 Depart for Buhoma in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest arriving in the afternoon. Nature walk in the forest or relax at the lodge. Overnight: Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge (FB).
Day 3 Go gorilla tracking (subject to permit availability at time of booking), walking up steep densely forested hills before finally coming across the gorillas camouflaged in the vegetation. An inspiring moment! Tracking in Bwindi requires stamina and can often take most of the day. Alternatively go for a leisurely nature or community walk. O/N: Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge (FB).
Day 4 Early start for Kampala, retracing your steps through this green and pleasant land. Picnic lunch en route. Arrive Kampala late afternoon (HB).
